#EDMBikeParkBuild Update 3.0

Council’s green‑light vote is just a few weeks old and the momentum on‑site is already shifting from paperwork to pulaski‑work. Here’s your midsummer snapshot—and the very first chances to swing a tool


Planning & Design Progress

Checkpoint 2 Package:

  • Our Design‑Readiness bundle (HRIA ✔, UPC ✔, Council ✔, Development Permit 📝, circulation review 🕵️‍, MIA ✍️) is in final compile mode. Once the City signs off, the Delivery Team fires the starting gun.

Circulation Review:

  • Stamped engineered drawings + drainage plan are with every relevant City stakeholder—utilities, environment, risk, you name it. Comments due back soon.

Maintenance & Operations Agreement:

  • Long‑term upkeep plan and budget are being dialled so the park stays mint for decades.


TL;DR: Paperwork mountain is nearly conquered; shovels are peeking over the summit.


First Volunteer Sessions 🚧

All meet at QE Park lot (by the washrooms, above the bike‑park site).
